Only Women Bleed

to take his seed
he's got the power mmmhmm
she got the need
spends her life through
pleasing up her man
she feeds him dinner
yeah, anything she can
she cries alone at night too often
he smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
only women bleed
only women bleed
only women bleed
only women...
only women bleed
only women bleed
man make your hair gray
he your life's mistake
all you're really lookin' for
is an even break, 'cause
he lies right at you
you know you hate his game
slaps you once in a while
and you live and love in pain
she cries alone at night too often
he smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
only women bleed
only women bleed
only women mmmm...
only women bleed, you know
eehh, sweet..sweet mmmmmm....
he lies right at you
you know you hate this game
slaps you once in a while
and you live and love in pain
she cries alone at night too often
she smokes and drinks and don't come home at all
only women bleed
only women bleed
only womennmmmmm...
only women bleed
only womennmmmmm..mmmm..
